Watching US tv in the comfort of your own home when you live somewhere that it isn't the US.

xpost. Could probably view it by using a US based proxy.

But of course that's a whole pain in the arse (and I decided I couldn't be bothered doing so earlier on).

Has anybody managed to do this to watch (f'r'instance 30 Rock on Hulu) something? 'Cos I just tried and couldn't get it to work.

Premiership matches on ESPN streams, yes, not strictly speaking legally.

Why would you want to do this in real time when it can be torrented the following day in better quality, though?

I mean apart from sporting events.

bcz it's only available streaming for the next week in this case

Hey, i'd like to watch BBC tv on the iPlayer, but since I'm in the US and not great with computers, I'm pretty sure that that just ain't gonna happen.

sidereel.com is what i used in turkey. usually there was a link that worked, even though i had to try several sometimes.

yep i use sidereel and project free tv. there are way too many shows and only one or two that i feel i might watch again for me to bother with torrenting.

Why would I need to do this when 'Two and a Half Men' is on TV every night here? Unfortunately, the timeslot clashes with old 'Friends' episodes.

Bandwidth in Kenya isn't good enough for Hulu, but I have wondered if I could buy an Amazon Kindle and then buy US-only books through a proxy server somehow...

need a slingbox and someone to host it for you.

Hurrah, sidereel works for me. Enjoying season 5 of The Office right now.
